The camera is on a timer, taking photos every minute. Most turn out terrible, some turn out to be interesting. My cat digs birds and garden hoses.

Scenery!

The camera being low to the ground and unable to compensate for movement produces some surreal shots on occasion.

This shot turned out squished.

I'm adding a 12'x20' garage for my bikes and lawnmower as I have the highbrow problem of not being able to fit everything I own into the existing two car garage. Two cars, two bikes and a lawnmower. The mower is under a tarp in the backyard, and I am only able to get two vehicles in and out without moving the third or the forth.

I'm putting the addition it in the middle of the house as I don't have room on the side and my heat pump is also in the way. I plan on having a nice path that connects to my driveway so I can just ride around. It's going to be awesome.

This coupled with all of the trees I planted this year furthers my goal of being able to walk around in my underwear without the neighbors calling the rozzers.

The picture updates every thirty minutes. I'll have some neato time lapse stuff up after I collect enough source material.

Update 4/20/09: Needed my EeeeEEEEeeeePC for something else, big timelapse to follow.

I was prepping my bike for the new season by tightening all of the bolts up, when I got to the bolts that hold the trunk on I noticed they were very loose. So loose, they fell out of the holes when I touched them. I tried to put them back and they would touch the head to the bottom, but only tighten a quater of a turn.

My first thought was, 'Oh no, the bolts are too short, I better buy some longer ones.' But then my second thought was, 'If the bolts were plenty long before, how did they magically get to be too short?'

I took the trunk completely off and this is what I found:

See those silvery bits in the holes? That is the back end of the bolts sheared off inside. The bolt is supposed to be about two inches longer. Not cool.

Not my thigh, but it is my handy work.

Last year I needed to tail a file in PHP. I whipped this out.

Today I needed to do it and came up with this:

$output = `tail -n 150 /var/log/messages`;
$tail_str = "<pre>$output</pre>";

Weee... don't know what the hell I was thinking last time.

I wrote my own.
